Ain't No Disco: Jews and Rock 'n' Roll
JCC MetroWest, 760 Northfield Ave, West Orange, NJ | Get Directions »
FREE
From doo wop's earliest harmonies to punk's anti-melodic anthems to today's eclectic mix, Jews have played an integral role in rock 'n' roll's development. Join rock and pop culture maven and Beatles expert Susan Ryan for a rousing session on Jewish disc jockeys, promoters, managers, songwriters and performers and their contributions to the music that's shaped three generations. Whether you're a hard-core fan or a mere music lover, you'll tap your feet, sing along and leave this program with a new appreciation for the Jews who've made this music
their own!
Hosted by progressive Jewish writer and scholar Bennett Muraskin, this free monthly session of the Jewish Cultural School & Society's (JCSS) adult education series is open to all.
